Donald Randolph came from gospel roots in Carolina and settled in Washington to begin his musical career. His solo career started in 1957 but he achieved more success with songs he penned rather than he performed. That is not to say he was unsuccessful with 'Mercy' and 'See Saw' and the like - but his compositions have been recorded, covered, copied, borrowed by a whole range of other artists over the years. He's so good I think you should look him up.
